With the exception of some front grill/bumper rash, which was touched up by previous owner (not the best job but better than nothing) and the gash you can see in the rear/driver's side quarter/bumper molding, it is pristine.Rolltide said:That thing looks clean! ...
...Congrats on the new ride!
I've got a '15 Taco myself.Painless said:Loved my 15 taco but needed more room so I traded that in on a tundra. Gas mileage sucks but I did put 35’s on it. Fucker is just the epitome of what a truck should be. I can’t ever see anything but a tundra in my driveway from now on....
What do you call serious weight?cwh said:How bad does the tundra suck the gas when towing?
Anybody towed any serious weight with one?
I believe starting in 2016 a 38gal tank was an option for a Tundra.cwh said:Thinking in the 10-12K range. It occurs to me that I might be able to ditch the 3/4 ton.
Putting a real gas tank in the tundra would make that decision a lot easier.
That sounds about right. The landcruiser averages 13mpg around town, and I drive that every day so I guess I'm not that fuel sensitive.Rod Builder said:I think the only time you'd miss the Dodge is when you were towing the hunting train.

Interesting...
I concur, sounds like somebody is siphoning their gas tanks.Rod Builder said:Are they running lift kits with big mudders and driving like John force? There's no way a stock Tundra or even one with a leveling kit and moderate tires should get that bad of mileage. I get twice that mileage on my 08 with a little over 100K
I haven't towed a thing, but my buddy tows a 5th wheel with his. Don't know the mileage, but he says it's got plenty of power. Brakes are his only concern since he's technically overloaded.cwh said:How bad does the tundra suck the gas when towing?

I have an 07 Tundra and with camper on I get 12. Without I get 15. My payment each month is 0 so the give a fucks are low. Add the boat with the camper and I drink coors light for the weekend instead of the good stuff.cwh said:It is interesting to look at the towing ratings - Toyota rates the 07+ Tundra at 10K, where my 06 Dodge 2500 is rated at 8K. Then again, it is tough to put much stock in a rating, especially compared across manufacturers.
Towing our boat with the Dodge was awesome, and I expect it approached the 12K mark once or twice. But that had as much to do with the trailer and its brakes as anything. Only time I ever didn't love the Dodge for towing was towing a 30 foot flatbed with a track rig and the toyota and a wheeler and two trailers, and the bed loaded over the rails with camping stuff headed to moose camp. I hate to think what that load weighed.
Not having a boat, and having lightened the load for the annual moose tardfest has me thinking I could ditch the dodge, and just deal with the heavy trailer once a year.
I should start a new thread... Nice rig Nail!
